Recent reports confirm that pub
lished in last weeks issue in regard
to the proposed extension of the Ore
gon and California Railroad from
Portland to Port Townsend, by the
Union Pacific Company. and that
within thirty days engineers will be
on the proposed route making the
preliminary surveys. From the re
port it would appear that the ques-
tion of the probability of the extern
sion is apparently favorable.
Now as to its feasibility: From
several well-ihforIned persons we have
learned that the building of the road
Will be practically easy work; that
the building of the road will bo prac-
ticall V easy work; that the topogra-
ply Of the country, as far as we have
heard from, is almost a natural road
bed, and can he made such without
the practice of any of the engineer
ing that marked the construction Of
the "Switchback."
Should the road be built on what
appears TO all familiar with the to-
Biography of this section, as the most
feasible, and the cheaper route, the
road will pass directly through the
town Of Shelton. Another route
through this section would make il
cross this valley about two miles
back.
David Shelton informs US that O
hasty preliminary survey was made
of the former route some two years
ago, when tho engineers pronounced
it a good one.
Those who know tell us that with
the exception of bridging some
small steams of the west shore oi
Hoods Canal, the work would be
quite an easy one, and a report could
not be otherwise than favorable.
Some rumors have reached us that
there was a possibility of the road
being finished in twelve months, bui
much credit cannot be given to such
a report, and we await some substan-
tial effort on the part of the Union
Pacific Railroad Company, before
giving great credence to the propo
sition that will tend immensely tc
make Mason county better known
and some OF our towns way stations
on one of the greatest transcontinen.

At sunset the school bell was rung

evening service, which was conducted
by Mr.. Duncan, assisted by DR.. Fra

mon 1t was an occasion well calcu-
lated to arouse the highest feelings
of enthusiasm and patriotism.
The Indians will all remove from
their old settlement, during the fall
to their new location. In abandon
ing their cid settlement they give uE
comfortable homes, we'll built ano

gothic church, built of cedar at cos
of $4,000, a large public hall, capable
of seating 12,000 persons, a cannery
which put up nearly $4,000 worth o.
salmon last year, and a large number
of stores and other buildings, all the
product of their own labors. The ag
gregate losses sustained by the In
dians will exceed $4,000, and all this
for the sake of conscience and free
dom and for the protection of them
selves and the enjoyment of theil
property.
The old name, Metlacahtla, will bt

to christen the new settlement by tina
title. His postal address in future
will be Metlakahtla, Alaska. The
mail steamers will deposit all posta
matter for Metlakahtlas at contigu
Gus point whence it will be conveyed
to the settlement.
1t is gratifying news indeed t.
learn that Gov. Swineford promptly
and warmly welcomed Mr.. Duncan a
soon as he learped of his advent OF
Alaskan territory. His Excellenc,

A great shingle-making industry
can be built up on the Sound, where
there are unsurpassed facilities for
the manufacture OF cedar shingles.
The OTegOnidn, in speaking of the
growing demand for cedar shingles
in the east says: "This week q local
bouse received a telegraphic order
for fifty carloads of cedar shingles.
Orders from Ohio, Missouri and 9th
er eastern points have been and are
being filed almost daily. A Pitts
burg man desires great quantity,
which could not be supplied at this
| time"
OregOnian Evidently the Elijah
Smith party have secured control of
a great deal of Northern Pacific stock.
As an indication that the old manage
ment has some apprehensions about
the result, it may be stated that there
is talk now that the election may be
put off year or two by the Iresent
board of directors, and probably will
be, if the Smith party turn up with a
majority of the stock at the election
next month. It is said the directors
have power, under the by laws of the
company, to put off the election till
September, 1889. The Chicago Tri-
bune says that ''some large blocks of
Northern Pacific stock are held in
Chicago and vicinity. and some of
the holders, although not interested
directly in the Oregon properties. are
known to be lending a more attentive
ear to MIR. Elijah Smith than they
did q year ago. 1t is stated by part
les who ought to know that the op-
position party already commands
100000, or nearly half of all the
stock, The party is beyond question
made up of people controlling the
Union Pacific, Wisconsin Central,
Oregon Railway & Navigation and
Oregon Il TranscontinentaI. They
guarantee that harmonious relations
shall be established between the
Northern Pacific and Union Pacific
and that the Oregon and Transconti-
nentaPs accounts shall be fairly set
tied. These are matters which sew
eral of the Northern Pacific directors
have professed anxiety to adjust, yet
nothing has as yet been done"

From Alaska

A copy of the ALASKAN of August
9th gives the following intelligence:
The Territorial Board of Educa-
tion. consisting of Governor Swine
ford and Rev. Sheldon Jackson, met
at the Office of Judge Dawson on the
22d ult. A series of resolutions we're
offered by Governor Swineford and
seconded by Sheldon Jackson and all
unanimously carried. The first au-
thorizes the Secretary to procure a
blank book in which to record the
proceedings OF the board. The sec
ond authorizes tao Secretary to pro-
cure letter book. The third is for
the Secretary to make out list of
teachers and to submit scheme Of
equalizing salaries. The fourth is a
vote of thanks to Secretary Lamar for
sending Commissioner Dawson to
examine and report on the education
al needs OF the territory. The fifth
Is another vote of thanks to Commis-
sioner Dawson for going to Sitka.
The sixth, that the Secretary forward
certified copy of the resolutions to
Secretary Lamar. The seventh is
really the business resolution of the
meeting; and that is, for the Secre-
tary to purchase on the best terms so
tons Of coal for the schools at Sitka,
Wrangel, juneau and Killisnoo. An.
other meeting was to be hold on the
Both.
Judge Dawson of the u. S. District
Court decides that the jurisdiction of
U. 8. Commissioners is limited to ae-
tlons not exceeding $3.50. The Act of
Congress. May IL, 1884, for establish
ing u civil gOvernn ent for Alaska,
limits the jurisdiction of commission
ers under the Alaska Act to that of
Justice of the peace under the laws of
Oregon MIR. Brady, q. s. Commits
sioner, settled case of $500, which
was brought before Judge Dawson
on demurrer and set aside. Judge
Dawson rather damns Mr.. Brady with
faint praise as follows: IF Congress
Intended 10 confer upon these COM
missioners unlimited jurisdiction, we
should indulge the presumption that
the President would have selected
men leanred in the law to occupy the
positions, but from The incipiency of
the civil government of Alaska the
commissioners have been appointed
without reference to their legal ac-
quirements." The Judge regards the
Act as standing forth glaringly and
consplcuously as a stupendoas piece
OF Legislative stupidity.
A good anecdote is related of Mr..
Brady when he first went to Sitka as
missionary. He had magic lam
tern which interested the Indians very
much. The price of admission was
one stick OF tirewood. The exhibition
became very popular, and soon the
misslonary's wood pile assumed good
ly proportions, and he felt happy in
the prospective comforts of a long
winter; but one day ''old Whit" the
veteran trader, took a stroll to look
after Ills own out door property, and
he soon found that his winters sup
ply Of hrewood had decreased in pro-
portion rs Brady's increased, and it
was fonnd that the young savages
had gained sight of the magic Ian
tern by borrowing cordwood from
=" "hittoId's pie. He eaualized the
matter by taking Bradyin business
as partner and they have since laid
up many sbeekies as a reward for
their labors Of love for the heathen.
The weather during the past month
has been mild and charming and bus.
mess generally was prosperous.

The work of the Grocer's Clerk

Said mercantile friend the other day:
"There are some other lines of trade be-
side the dry goods in which the hours of
labor might very judiciously be curtailed.
Take, for instance, the grocery business,
Of course the grOcers deal in the neces-
saries of life and, unless a systematic
understanding is arrived at, the closing of
their stores at an earlier hour than usual
would involve inconvenience and possible
suffering. But it would be a simple
matter for the public to conform to an ar
rangement which would give the dealers
and their employees an occasional Oppor
tunity to look on the bright side of life.
GAS it is to-day the average grOcer's
clerk is perfect slave. His tour of duty
begins at dawn, with journey to market
and ends far in the night in the delivery
of orders when all the rest of mankind are
partaking of social enjoyment or securing
needed rest. The severe eXertiOns put
upon him have materially affected the
character of the men engaged in the
business. As a general thing bright and
vigorous young men now refuse TO go into
the grocery trade, preferring other occu-
pations where they can occasionally OBJ
tain slice of leisure, if it is only thin
